Just be sure to come up through the Inside Passage first, please. Bring buckets of Kentucky Fried Chicken and a few appliance repairmen. We'll take care of the passport issue, no problem. Thanks in advance.

I seriously believe the OP thinks this was legitimate, OMG. How can people with this little common sense live and survive in the world? Hes bio says back woods of somewhere, but i can't even imagine that in this day and age there are woods far enough back to propagate and sustain this type of misinformation. Not knowing that AK is a part of the US and hence need no passport is just remarkable. In Colorado I once heard a tourist ask with a straight face, "where do they store the deer and elk in the winter"? Until now, THAT was the stupidest person i had ever heard. Boggles my mind.

I have to admit that I am upset with the exchange rate for Alaskan currency (Sno-dollars is what we've always called them.) My place of employment recently started paying us in Euros, trying to be on the forefront of the economic scene since Mexico is finally being legitimized as the 58th State of the US and that's what they use. I went down to the Alaskan Bank to exchange and for 3500 Euros I was only given three stacks of Eskimo beads (the white ones, not the red ones... cheapskates), two Iguana pelts (Mexico strikes again), one live ice badger, a chunk of grape flavored iqmik and a pound of aqutaq. I told them not to put salmonberries in my aqutaq but they didn't have the non-fat version left so I was stuck with what they have. Hopefully the AC will swap it out (per their suggestion.) Okay, hope that helps clear things up. Off to reglaze the igloo.

BAHAHAHA. Passport? Are you serious? In case they forgot to teach you in geography, Alaska is a state in the US. You don't need to have a passport to come here.

You do if you drive through Canada.

You won't for much longer though you will need permission from Rance and Met.
